In the house, Stephanie and Eric take her up to Felicia's old room. Becky asks if Felicia will mind and Stephanie says she hasn't been there in years. When she gets a good look at the room, she exclaims that their daughter must be nuts! Eric is shocked but Becky says that if she had a room like this, she would never want to leave it. They settle her in bed and tell her that the maid will be up with a tray for her shortly. When Eric and Stephanie finally leave, Becky jumps up on the bed and bounces for joy. She walks around the room and looks over everything in the room, wishing that all of these possessions were hers. She walks to the window and looks out to see Amber's "little house." Well, she says to herself. I'm above you now, Amber. How do you like that?

Amber's voice is heard in the room and Becky is startled. Amber tells her to pick up the phone; she is on the intercom. Amber accuses her of faking the accident and tells her that she will be leaving in the morning. Becky says that she wouldn't have to fake the accident if she would have let her stay in the first place.
